Puyallup HVAC Contractor

How To Hire The Right Puyallup HVAC Repair Professional – The First Time

Repairs for any heating or air conditioning unit will certainly cost you. But, hiring the right HVAC professional can save you some serious money in the long term, if you know what to look for.

First, you should always confirm that a HVAC professional is licensed by the state. Their license number will usually be provided on their website. The next thing you will want to make sure of it that they are bonded. A bond is basically insurance that protects the customer from unnecessary financial distress in the case of faulty products or services. Both of these can be confirmed online at your stateâs L&I (Labor and Industries) âContractor Look Upâ page. HVAC professionals should also carry separate insurance – to protect themselves from physical injuries while on the job, and against any claims or lawsuits that maybe filed against them.

Another important online check is with the Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org). The Better Business Bureau will allow you to find out if there are any complaints against a company. If a company has little to no complaints, that is a good sign â especially if those few complaints were resolved in a timely manner. However, if a company has a pattern of complaints, you will definitely want to steer clear from that company, and move on to another one.

Another quality assurance check that can be asked, if itâs not noted on a companyâs website is – Do the technicians belong to any trade associations? Being a member of specific trade associations will demonstrate competence, and further proof of their skills and commitment to their profession. Membership with these organizations will let you know that they are qualified and educated on the latest techniques and technology that comes out on the market each and every year.

An important safety question to also ask – Does the company do criminal background checks before hiring their employees? This is extremely important, as you want a reputable service professional that you can trust in your home. There is also the question of whether or not the company endorses a drug and alcohol free work place. Take the time to make these apart of your first few questions when calling and asking for an estimate.

All of these factors may seem like common sense, but are often assumed and get homeowners in uncomfortable and costly situations. To help insure quality service, apply the above recommendations for selecting a qualified HVAC professional. It can also save you money in the long term, as you will be ensured that the repairs are done right the first time. Contact:
